Indie Rock Bands

"White death wakes in black skies, mark your makers wrath. Fear and flames of azure climb the crooked mast. You will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass. Sink and sing your answer and hold fast hope."

"You’ve got to choose a wish or command At the turn of the tide"

"We won’t have a thing So we’ve got nothing to lose…"

"In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down) but you lead with your eyes and you give it away (decide, design to cut from the clouds).

"Time to let this pass (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins.

"Thursday are immensely important to the development of post-hardcore, and their sophomore album, Full Collapse, was a turning point for their legacy."

"Not only have Thursday literally been coined one of the most “influential post-hardcore bands of the 2000s,” but they have also made a name for themselves as pioneers in the alternative scene for their standout screaming vocals. [...] They have certainly done their due diligence maintaining their influence over the last two decades, influence which continues to be heard across the alternative genres today. Thursday took emo and hardcore culture and truly shattered the glass ceiling, pushing for what was absolutely alternative to be a part of popular culture."

"Trees keep fallin' at my feet I guess it's time to build a boat Make a raft of our bodies Do you think that it'll float? What I said was not a joke, But you just licked the envelope I'm tired of dating, let's elope But you just licked the envelope."

"He fell in love with a photograph If he told her the story she'd have to laugh She feels a distance like a feather He's just a fool for stormy weather I guess that's all, they feel so small His dreams are a boat, he's sailing away She's just a wreck at the end of the day He mails her a letter he should have burned He mails her a letter he should have burned."

"I lay on my back in the lake at night in the summer time trying to remember Every last second, every last breath that I spent with you The yellow dotted line, reflected in your eyes You scream as the crickets fly in the open window Please don't cry love."

"Brazil, when stars were entertaining June, We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured someday soon We kissed and clung together."

"Hey, your old man should know if you see a shadow, there's something there."

"In the forest we are hiding, Unmarked graves where flowers grow. Hear the soldiers angry yelling, In the river we will go."

"Why don't I ever see any old punks? I guess they change their minds or die Beaten by the greetings of "Enchanté" By the girls who read Oscar Wilde Now I was always one of the serious sort But I let the comics show me around I know I didn't laugh much but boy did he try And all the time I'd be frightened by the sound."
